With the belated return of the Monster Rancher franchise with Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX, we now see a collaborative effort between KOEI Tecmo and Bandai Namco. Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher – as the name suggests – is a Monster Raising sim where you bring up cute little destructive monsters such as Godzilla, Gamura and more.

The game is out now worldwide, and can be picked up digitally on the Nintendo eShop. For physical hunters out there, you can order the Asian version of the game through Play-Asia which offers English localisation options.

Check out the official store page description below:

Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher is a brand-new collaboration between Ultraman, a famous Japanese Tokusatsu work, and Monster Rancher, a popular role-playing simulation series. This new game introduces iconic Ultra Kaiju such as Alien Baltan, Zetton, and Gomora to the popular gameplay mechanics of raising and battling monsters from the Monster Rancher game.

1) Feed, Train, Explore!
Pick what you want to do every week and raise your Ultra Kaiju. Witness different sides of Ultra Kaiju that you’ve never seen before. Learn about their mannerisms and meet powerful Kaiju rivals. Battle it out in tournaments that emulate original clashes in the Ultraman work!

2) Discover Over 200 Different Types of Kaiju!
You can fuse Ultra Kaiju to create brand new variations! A Dada-patterned Zetton, a Red King with the horns of Gomora… There are many combinations to be found!

3) A New Regeneration Method!
NFC compatible devices such as transportation IC cards and more can be used to generate Kaiju. The NFC device will generate a unique Kaiju based on various properties. Experiment with NFC devices to find out what kind of Kaiju will be generated!

You can read an official description for them both from Bandai Namco below:

Set sail to Whole Cake Island in One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 and meet Charlotte Katakuri, the second son of the Charlotte family and one of the Three Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates! Katakuri is considered the strongest of the Three Sweet Commanders, with the power to flick jellybeans at the speed and power of bullets and is viewed by the World Government as an extremely dangerous threat. Only the power of Luffy Fourth Gear Snakeman can stop Katakuri… or can he?

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 Deluxe Edition coming to Switch this May!

High off the tails of the Nintendo Direct we have gotten yet another KOEI Tecmo related news piece to cover. Bandai Namco Games has announced that One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 Deluxe Edition will be setting sail for the Nintendo Switch this May. May 11th for Europe (Physically/Digitally) and May 10th for America (Digital Only).

The Deluxe Edition includes all of the DLC that was released with the game back on PS4 and Steam, so get all of your Pirate slashings in one package to play on the go!

We have been playing the Japanese version of the game for quite some time now on the Switch, and a key thing we will need to point out is that the game itself runs great, but all online functionality is removed from the game. Just keep in mind this may end up being the same for the Western release too.

And to end this off, check out the launch trailer that came with this news attached below!

Will you be picking this up for the Switch? What other KT games would you like to see hit the Switch? Let us know in the comments!
